Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

nohumpingcars OK, so one night me and some friends decided to get really stoned and watch a movie. Unfortunately for us, we chose 'Ernest Goes to Africa.' I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. This movie is beyond bad. I have literally pooped out better films than 'Ernest Goes to Africa.' (I poop films) The highlight of this movie, for me at least, was the opening sequence, when Ernest is making silly faces. When they showed him with a head the size of a peanut, I lost it. Perhaps I found this so funny because at that point I was the most high. Perhaps you are right.If I had to guess what George W. Bush's favorite movie is, I would guess 'Ernest Goes to Africa.' Never before have I seen a movie rely more on 1950's stereotypes of people of color. There were times when words escaped me and I just stared in awe.As I was watching this, I couldn't help but wonder, is this movie meant for children? Do literate adults actually watch this? How could there possibly be a whole franchise of 'Ernest' movies? Is this really my life? Is this real? I hated this movie.

dootuss I never thought an "Ernest" movie could ever suck, but boy was I wrong about this movie. This "Ernest" installment totally flat-out SUCKED!! The plot was atrocious, and the movie as a whole was excrutiating to watch. I watched this one out of extreme boredom, and I hardly ever laughed while watching this (The day I saw this dreck sitting on the shelf at the iggle video rental area at the nearby Giant Eagle near my house, and renting it was one major mistake.). The movie was so bad, that I had to turn it off less than an hour into it (something I never had encountered with any other "Ernest" film).Jim Varney is the high point of this dismal "Ernest" movie. His Hey You the Hindu character was funny, and the best part of the movie, the rest of it is well... crap.Just stick to one of the other "Ernest" films, and stay away from this one. You will be disapointed.

Agent10 Man, why did I rent this movie! While Hey You the Hindu was great and the story reeked of typical Ernest proportions, this film should have never been made. Sometimes stupidity takes a backseat to nostalgia, but from now on, I'm listening to my gut more often. What a pitiful movie to watch, one which didn't need to be the swan song of Jim Varney and his lovable character Ernest P. Worrell. The story was horrible, it was slow and dull, and the film stock clearly indicated the series had hit rock bottom. What a sad waste.

helpless_dancer Fate puts a pair of priceless items in Ernest's hands and he gets kidnapped and taken to Africa because of it. This was my first Ernest film so I can't compare it to his others, but I thought it was fairly amusing. Good stuff if you like slapstick humor and plain old clowning around.
